Michael Thompson played nine holes during round one of the Quicken Loans National before calling it quits for the week. There is no reason given for his WD at the moment. UPDATE:Thompson cited a shoulder injury as the cause of his WD.

Thompson started his day at the par-5 10th. You would expect a par 5 to be a nice handshake greeting to start the day, but it has surrendered more than a handful of double bogeys already today. Thompson was one of those doubles as he found the dreaded native area twice on his way to the green. That snowballed into three more bogeys, putting him at 5-over thru 4 holes. Thompson would later find water at the par-3 17th, leading to his second double of the day. He would turn in his scorecard at the turn instead of playing the full 18. Jun 29 - 5:21 PM

Playing alternate shot in Round 3 of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Web.com Tour grad's Michael Thompson and Tim Wilkinson authored a 4-under-par 33-35=68 to post 11-under 205, up 21 places on the live leaderboard to T11 and matching the low round in the clubhouse. UPDATE:With play completed, Thompson/Wilkinson are T8 and eight back, while Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown shot the low round with 67.

Eleven teams (of 42) that advanced to the weekend are in the books thus far on a windy Day 3 at TPC Louisiana. Two have posted 68s, with Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes the other. Wilkinson dropped in birdie-3 at the first off Thompson's approach from 137 yards to 5'11". Thompson knocked home a par-saver at the par-5 second from 6'2" and followed with birdie-3 at four from 48 feet. Wilkinson saved par at six (from 6'1") and Thompson carded their third birdie at the par-5 seventh (5'11"). Thompson circled 3 at the 10th off Wilkinson's approach from 85 yards to 39 inches, and Thompson hit his tee shot to the long par-3 14th to within 41 inches for a Wilkinson conversion. The duo's lone drop came at the par-4 16th on a failed scramble. Apr 29 - 2:55 PM

Michael Thompson steadied a 2-under-par 35-35=70 during the second round of the Valero Texas Open, staking out an early spot inside the top 15 on 4-under 140.

Thompson ticked off six birdies in round one, but gave four strokes back with a four-pack of bogeys. Today his ball-striking saw a slight dip, but his flat stick made up the ground to post a second straight 70. Despite a short miss at the par-3 13th (4'6"), Thompson walked off the course gaining 1.931 strokes putting today. Notable putts included a trio from outside 14 feet with the longest being a 24'9" birdie bomb at the par-4 sixth hole. Thompson entered the week with top 15s in two of his last three starts, and could be only his way to another this week in Texas. Apr 21 - 2:50 PM
